AranchaMOBILE: Carlo Ancelotti has an offer to manage Man United

Not surprised. Since SAF we have exclusively hired total frauds or washed up blokes.
He's a top 5 manager in the world for me. It'd be silly to turn him down, I don't believe it for a second though. But we can always dream.
I don't think Ancelotti would just randomly resign from RM mid season.
It makes sense that the new "boss" would have to be proactive and explore option for next season in case thing crashing down this season, or the project stagnate under ETH. You don't wait until season end to start an alternative plan because it may mean the potential candidate may be picked up by a NT, or other clubs. Ancelotti contract situation is a potential easier option IF action's required for next season.
We need to change upstairs people first. No point changing manager now. By his 2nd season, we will again lost all directions and play counter attacking football bypassing entire midfield if our football structure remains the same.
We will be again signing Kane on big money when he turns 32 and then surprised that he is on his last legs.

That has been totally true for us so far.
This is the kind of rumor that Goldbridge would talk about for hours.
No, thanks.
He suits a certain type of club / situation. Not the man to fix a broken mess imo.
Outstanding manager and seems like a smart man. Wouldn't touch this poisoned club with a barge pole. Let ETH and manutd completely destroy one another so we can rebuild it from the ashes.
Spoken like a true Red!
He did ok at Everton tbf. Although I'm not sure how much of a mess they were at that time. I get your point though.
Until he didn’t. Remember he left Everton when they were tanking. Top quality managers need top quality environments.
The problem with AranchaMOBILE is that they don't have a news for desktop version.
Please no. Stick with Erik.
Well I hope that's not true!
He might look like an Italian mafia boss at Real Madrid but if he comes here he'd be seen as an Italian waiter, his job is to wait until the players don't like his methods and stop trying.
real talk. Carlo finally retires after one season, completely demoralised with footballETH will be here for the next 5 years atleast. Please lock the thread.
Hope it isn't true. Exactly the type of appointment we should be avoiding.
It's funny to see people saying 'please no' about one of the best managers in the world, but also this story is definitely absolute bollocks, he's either staying at Real Madrid and looking to negotiate a better contract or he's going to Brazil.
He’s obviously a good manager, but wouldn’t this be a bit of a backwards step? I thought he was another one of your ‘go out and play’ managers who’s main role is keeping the dressing room ticking over and managing egos? After going from Moyes to Van Gaal to Jose to Ole to Ten Hag, we’d just be wheel spinning if we decide to do yet another 180.
Ten Hag is building something, and this team needs actual coaching. Let him see it through.

This. Great man manager who's won almost everywhere he's been. Baffled that people react so strongly against him as if he was some fraud or a man without a record. But it's a moot point to speculate because he's either staying in Madrid or managing Brazil
No renewal, he's leaving for a new job.
Or a month early...
Only 5? I was betting on at least 15.
Ancelotti's agent doing the usual agent thing and touting Utd to drum up interest. Saudi will give him a nice payday if he doesn't want the Ireland job....
Xabi Alonso must be inbound in the summer.

Top 5 manager or not, he doesn't stand a chance here with our players. The players will complain about double training sessions, going home in the dark, refuse to run and press, cant string 2 passes together, play like complete stranger and need holidays during the football season to clear headspace and whatnot.
Let's change the DOF, football structure and culture before appointing another manager.

I think that's an oversimplification. Ancelotti is a good manager and understands tactics, he played for and then worked under Arrigo Sacchi. But he believes in adapting the playing style to the qualities of the attacking players, and giving them freedom.
For example, here are two quotes of his from September.
And then November:
Are we starting threads based on shit sources now?
